Update - version 0.2

new sort

old sort

I want to apologize to any testers. If you made a new file and didn't start with the one with samples, you would end up with empty paths. It was a bug I didn't notice, because it's only with new files(I use my testing files).

new features:

path sorting - much better than it used to be, also for parallel and cross paths, when using ambient behaviour: Around. Not thorough tested yet. The algorithm seems to behave just too good to be true, especially when combined with stay low option.

parallel step back - a feature when roughting and finishing in one run - it can do climb cutting in distance of 2x distance between paths, and then run back 'conventionally', where almost no cutting anymore happens. So the time of the cutter going back is used

or finishing.

optimized offsetting algorithm - 5-50%speedup(still terribly slow, but hey, if you make things really stupid and slow working, then you really enjoy them getting faster)

The previous version had a bug where nothing would work properly if export wasn't set to exr images.. sorry for that, that means nothing actually worked! In my tests everything was fine, but just because I had allready prepared testing files.

in fact a lot of background was overhauled, so I am still looking for bugs. The new path sorting required a substantial recode of big parts of the whole script.

todo:

exporters, exporters, exporters! - there are still no donations, nor feature requests, so I am still a bit talking to myself here, and don't know if ppl want actually some other exporters. I use mach3 so far.

known bugs:

pencil doesnt work at all really yet.It's a skeleton of some future better code.not hard to make something of it, but currently no motivation.

If you donate, don't hesistate to tell me whatever feature you'd prefer to be developed next. I can't promise anything, especially developing for machines which I don't have can be hard, but I will do my best. If you don't want to be mentioned as a donor, let me know too.

I had to move the list of donors to a separate page, it was too long, which is good news!
